UNIVERSAL MUSIC LLC (Headquarters: Tokyo-to Shibuya-ku, President & CEO Atsushi Fujikura) and its Japanese-music-focused label Virgin Music, announces a partnership with ANYCOLOR Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo-to Minato-ku, President & CEO Riku Tazumi). Together, the two companies will train and produce music for “BY THE BEAT”,a four-member VTuber unit from NIJISANJI EN, the English-speaking branch of ANYCOLOR Inc. 

As of today, BY THE BEAT embarks upon the road to their major label debut scheduled for 2027. With the release of “Double Vision”, BY THE BEAT takes their first step toward realizing this dream. This track, composed with the idea of comparing their fans, who are indispensable to the members’ activities, to “chromatic aberration” (color distortion) is an ambitious piece that blends bouncy electro-house rhythms with rap and vocal chops. The result is a cool, elegant dance track where you can almost feel the very breath of the four members.

The production team features Lauren Kaori, who writes songs primarily for J-POP and K-POP acts such as INI and &TEAM; MONJOE, the vocalist and synthesizer player for DATS who has recently been producing and writing songs for artists like BE:FIRST and Number_i, as well as composing music for commercials; and R&B artist, singer-songwriter LOAR, who has provided songs for artists such as Kento Nakajima and BE:FIRST.
